    This is a Kershaw Chive knife that I engraved by hand (no lasers) and finished at the end of 2023. I started engraving in 2022 but haven't been able to devote much time to it. I am determined to devote more time to it this year.

    The Shortest Google Ads Tutorial Ever

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Thanks Andy. Is targeting the entire United States too broad if we are selling a niche product with a well defined, buyer oriented search term like the example you have shared? We ship nationwide so we would be happy to get traffic from anywhere within the country. The latest campaign that I...

    I had some campaigns going for my current business but it felt like we were getting way too many irrelevant contacts and paying for too many irrelevant terms. I also was not fully aware of all of the other things Google blows our money on. I learned so much in just 5 minutes (paused and replayed...

    I have half a million liquid. Is there any standard business I can start that gets me 10% to 20% returns?

    INVESTING 
    I'm not recommending it. The point was to show that working full time in a business that OP has no experience or knowledge to MAYBE make 80k if he is lucky vs doing absolutely nothing to make 25k is not good. It was just the first example that I thought of. Of course there are many better...

    I have half a million liquid. Is there any standard business I can start that gets me 10% to 20% returns?

    INVESTING 
    You can easily get 5%+ from a CD in a year or less by doing nothing but depositing the money. ~$25k guaranteed for doing nothing seems better to me than working 2000+ hours and risking your $500k for maybe ~$80k if everything goes well. If you're willing to learn how to run a business and make...

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    I've officially hit 10 years of full veganism. I don't remember the exact date that I made the choice but that 2013 was the year when I went completely vegan. Feeling great and no problems related to my diet.
